The PuLi Hotel and Spa
Shanghai's sleek urban resort
VERIFIED LUXURY
We verify luxury. Our highly trained inspectors visit every property we rate, evaluating based on up to 900 objective criteria. Our hotel stays span a minimum of two nights.
We pay our own way. No one can buy a rating; all ratings are earned through our objective inspection process.
Our global team of inspectors are anonymous at all times, so they have the same experience as a typical guest.
While we inspect both service and facility, our Star Rating system emphasizes service because your experience at a hotel, restaurant or spa goes beyond looks — how it makes you feel is what you will remember most.
We started in1958 as Mobil Travel Guide, and we created the original Five-Star rating system for hospitality.
Five-Star
These are outstanding, often iconic properties with virtually flawless service and amazing facilities.
Four-Star
These are exceptional properties, offering high levels of service and quality of facility to match.
Recommended
These are excellent properties with consistently good service and facilities.

The sophisticated PuLi Hotel and Spa exudes a Zen vibe that’s more akin to a spa. Neutral hues, dark wood, spacious surroundings, textured fabrics and tasteful Eastern touches are found everywhere throughout the property.
Get ready to be pampered — personal butlers attend to your every need and rooms come with a mobile phone to ensure you remain connected.
The beautiful infinity pool and spa further delight the senses with signature massages and top-notch tea-based relaxation treatments.
Although the PuLi is situated in the heart of the busy Jing’an District, you’d never know it while inside the peaceful hotel.

Our Inspector's Highlights
- Shanghai is a chaotic city, but The PuLi Hotel and Spa offers an air of calm. The infinity pool and the spa (with a long list of tea-focused treatments) add to the soothing setting.
- The hotel sits right next to Jing’an Park and is close to People’s Square and the lovely French Concession neighborhood. It’s also adjacent to a Metro line 2 station, making it a cinch to get just about anywhere in the city.
- You’ll feel right at home at this urban resort from the luxurious library where you can curl up with a book to the stylish Long Bar and green garden terrace that beckon for a relaxing afternoon with a cocktail in hand.
- With 24-hour butler service and in-room dining, the hotel provides an ideal atmosphere for guests who enjoy the finer things in life without too much pomp and circumstance.
- The ambience is calming. Lots of light, natural elements and wide-open space combine to provide a respite from the city down below.
Things to Know
- The PuLi Hotel provides an idyllic setting for modern business travelers who appreciate style, fine dining and attention to detail — minus gaudy flourishes or stuffy attitudes.
- The vibe at The PuLi Hotel is chic, and it’s the perfect setting for individual travelers or couples. However, it’s not the ideal setting for a major convention or lavish wedding.
- The guest rooms come with a mobile phone with citywide coverage, which is ideal for business travelers who need to stay connected on the go.
The Rooms
- The guest rooms at The PuLi Hotel and Spa are spacious and comfortable with floor-to-ceiling windows that let in plenty of natural light.
- Instead of being overly patterned or busy, the rooms embrace clean lines that run alongside sleek appliances, subtle Eastern touches and lavish furnishings.
- The generous open spaces in each room can be divided up into smaller rooms — just ask your butler to slide the floor-to-ceiling silk partition screens to create a more private setting.
- The bathrooms at The PuLi Hotel and Spa have luxurious features like a separate rainforest shower and private toilet area. The spacious bathtubs boast clear views of Jing’an Park and Shanghai’s impressive skyline.
The Restaurants
- The elegant all-day dining venue Phenix Eatery & Bar features French cuisine inspired by seasonal ingredients. Think duck neck and fois gras sausage with plum, white asparagus chamomile salad or Angus steak with kampot pepper sauce.
- Phenix also features a selection of classic cocktails and an impressive wine menu offering 250 labels.
- Enjoy afternoon tea service at the PuLi’s all day dining restaurant from 2:30-5:30 p.m. A selection of sweet and savory European-inspired bites is on offer as well as 17 types of tea and a few choices for champagne.
- For a quick bite, head to the Four-Star hotel’s Long Bar. Located in the lobby, its focus is primarily on its extensive list of cocktails and fine spirits, but it does offer up snacks and a small bar menu of meals.
